Abstract excerpt
Strains of Drosophila melanogaster homozygous for alleles of the period gene (perO, perL, perS, and per+) were reared for multiple generations either in light:dark cycles (LD), continuous illumination (LL), or chronic darkness (DD). The locomotor activity of adult flies from these cultures was mo...
